The HWG LU is close to practice, demanding in education and strong in research - an unbeatable combination

As a university of applied sciences, our lecturers have all gained many years of practical experience (at least five years) before working at the university. As professors with practical experience, they not only know what is in demand in the business, social and healthcare sectors, but also maintain excellent contacts there. Of course, this benefits our students first and foremost: a high level of practical relevance is a matter of course when studying in Ludwigshafen!

From tutor to professor - the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society attaches great importance to the further didactic training of all teaching staff. Up-to-date education content and the continuous development of teaching and learning methods are a matter of course for us.

Students at the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society not only benefit from up-to-date knowledge that is adequately prepared, but can also actively participate in shaping education and learning. They are involved in the quality management of their degree programs through regular surveys. In this way, they can contribute directly to maintaining education and learning at a high level and to its continuous further development.

Last but not least, in addition to the practical orientation, we also see the close interlinking with research knowledge as an important prerequisite for being able to impart up-to-date teaching content. The Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society is one of the strongest research universities of applied sciences in Rhineland-Palatinate. A fruitful exchange of education and research takes place here in (and between) the disciplines of business, health and social affairs.

A dozen research institutes, countless research projects, other key areas of work and an increasing number of international research collaborations represent HWG-LU's comprehensive expertise in the fields of business, logistics, business informatics, finance, health and social affairs. If you would like to find out more, you will find an overview of the scientific institutions and other interesting topics on the website of the Center for Research and Cooperation.

This maxim, which applies to the university in general, is particularly evident in the context of research and cooperation: in order to set the tone here, we are networked with a large number of cooperation partners from science, research, public institutions and business. These include regional companies and organizations as well as the city of Ludwigshafen and national and international players. Incidentally, our external partners tell us that they experience the university as fast, flexible, practical and very open.

The students benefit from this

• by incorporating new research results into their education
• through research semesters
• through excursions
• through practical and final theses.

If a high level of practical relevance is important to you, you should take a look at the dual study models offered by the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society. This form of study is a mixture between a degree course and traditional vocational training and provides for firmly integrated practical assignments that take place at a cooperating company. Through "training on the job", these university-practice partnerships offer students an excellent insight into company practice right from the start. If you are interested in the dual study programs offered by the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society, simply use the Study programs finder.

Regardless of which field of study and format you choose, studying in Ludwigshafen will open the door to your future career. The education at HWG-LU enjoys a good reputation among experts and employers. We maintain a lively exchange with the regional job market in particular through cooperation agreements. Nevertheless, the range of courses on offer is not explicitly geared towards the needs of regional companies or industries, but also meets the increasing demands of a globalized and digitalized working world.

To support our students in their transition into the world of work, they have the opportunity to have their application documents checked, search for internships and jobs in the internal Career Portal and take advantage of various career advice services.

The good career prospects are also confirmed by our graduates. A survey showed that around 90 percent of them managed to start their career within the first six months of graduating; 70 percent even managed to do so within the first three months of finishing their studies.
